From me at the Atlantic Council: USMCA claims are way up. Implications are more significant than meets the eye. Thread below, but tl;dr: In a low-tariff environment, FTAs have limited value. The flurry of trading partners' FTA talks risks undermining their domestic industrial objectives.
53 percentage points: the increase in imports from Canada claiming duty-free treatment under the USMCA since the end of January. 

While free trade agreements are often framed as tools for regional integration, they are only as strong as the incentive to use them. The Trump Administration's 2025 increase in MFN tariffs -- paired with exemptions under USMCA -- has made USMCA more valuable. FTAs can effectively promote regional intgration and supply-chain diversification away from China only when most-favored-nation tariffs are sufficiently high to make regional sourcing economically attractive.
